Here is a fairly rare photo postcard of Himmler and friends while wearing his Model 36 SS Officer's sword. Does anyone have some other photos of him wearing this sword or the earlier Lion head one?

close-up of the sword.

There is a well-known photo of him sitting in an open car with the SS degen in his hands. It shows a fairly nice closeup of the grip.

I think the photo Grumpy's describing is on page 342 in Wittmann's SS book.

Yes, that's the one, but it has been cropped and enlarged. Still a good shot, though.
